pierre3636 0 #1 December 21, 2006 Curious to know how long does it take you to feel comfortable in your new wing suit and how do you define being comfortable? for me it is when i better or match my times on my old wingsuit and openings are as uneventful. yes i know there is a similiar post on canopies out there ~ time is ~ time was ~ times past ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buried 0 #2 December 21, 2006 define 'comfortable'? dont' think i've ever been uncomfortable on a suit. each suit is different to hone in close to the best position, etc. usually takes between 3-12 jumps(for me) before trying anything that needs precision or advanced maneauvers Where is my fizzy-lifting drink?

SkymonkeyONE 4 #3 December 21, 2006 Do you mean during flight or at pull-time? I have never been unfomfortable during flight, even when my times weren't as good as on other suits, but I have been a bit uncomfortable on some suits at pull-time. It took me some getting used to the extra force required to shut down my Vampire legwing. It took me a few jumps to get used to the armwing shutdown on my S6.

PhoenixRising 0 #4 December 21, 2006 I jumped my mach 1 for the first time on sunday. the suit was very easy to fly and felt very comfortable and stable. however at pull time i had a little trouble shutting it down and reaching the hack. i got it no problem on second attempts, but a little exciting. a few more flights and i think i will be adapted just fine.Wingsuit organizing, first flight courses and coaching Flock University Tonysuits Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pierre3636 0 #5 December 22, 2006 comfortable like in you are at the same performance level as your previous suit and now that you mention it pulltime its with the same ease - my mach 1 i found i had to concentrate at pulltime to get the hacky with the same ease as my s3s and closing the legwing took a bit of forcefullnes like the v1 i jumped. i generally found the transition from one BM suit to the next quite easy or quick but i suppose the suits were also much less high performance i.e. GTI/PHI and s3s (top end but wings not in the way) ~ time is ~ time was ~ times past ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
